Changing date format in PHP

[rudeboymcc]

Hi. I've got the following code showin the date in a table:

<?php echo FormatDateTime($x_date,7); ?>

In the table, the date is in the mm/dd/yy format. all I want ot do is display it with the day at least (i.e. Saturday 1st Jan).

is there any way to just convert the date already in $x_date?

I'm using PHP to connect to a MySQL database.

What is the definition of FormatDateTime?

Have you looked at php's date() function?

ah that's perfect! cheers for that. Here's what i used:

<?php echo date('l jS M', strtotime("$x_date")); ?>

the l (small L) is day e.g. monday
the j is the date withought a leading '0'
the S is nd rd th st depensing on the date
and M is the month!
